If you want to know how to say something in the Dragon Language, or if you're unsure about a translation and want it double-checked, post it here.  Likewise, if you have an answer for anyone looking, you can give your translation here too.

can anyone translate the word chill to dragon?

There doesn't appear to be a word for "chill" yet.  You might look to some synonyms, such as "Krah", "cold", or "Fo", "frost", or "Diin", "freeze".

Do you mean chill as in temperature, or chill as in (slang) relax?  There's always krisiiv, if it is the latter.  ^_^

Chill as in the Tempature. gonna suck if I cant get a straight translation it is part of my name lmao

Hi,

i am new to this forum and i don't know if it is the right place to ask. I am planning and designing a roleplay-project and therefore i need the word "virtue" translated into the dragon language.

Of course i looked for words with a similar meaning, but found no one with the same positive sense in it.

Any idea?

It's not very close to "virtue", but "Zin", "honor", might work.  You're welcome to invent a word for "virtue" as well.

Thank you for your fast reply. Honor was also my emergency solution. First of all i thought "duty" would be fine, but then i found, it has an too inglorious taste.

I also think honor will make it.

Invent a new word? Oh .. Sorry.. I don't think i am skilled enough to do so. I have the worst language abilities ;-)

Hi guys, I'm  trying to translate the old fashined phrase: "to sail is necessary; to live is not necessary." and I'm having difficulties with the infinitive forms of the verbs, has anyone worked it out?

I've reached it (wah saat praagaan, wah lahney ni praagaan.) as the best form fiddling with "necessary" and adjective that has no traslation to dovahzul as "need" as an adjective "praag + -aan".

I hope we can find an solution for the infinitive thing, I'm planning a tatoo in dovahzul runics with this phrase.

Very close!  There are a couple ways to phrase it, and most of it comes down to personal preference.  There's the really shortened version: "saat praagaan, lahney praaganni", which translates most closely to "Sailing is needed/necessary, living is not needed/necessary".

Then, there's the longer version which you've listed above, but here are some alterations to that: "Wah saat praagaan, wah lahney praagaanni" or "Wah saat praagaan, wah lahney praagaan ni", or even "Wah saat praagaan, wah lahney vopraagaan".

The first two mean most closely "To sail (is) needed/necessary, to live (is) not needed/necessary".  It's important for "ni" to go at the end so it couldn't be mistaken with "lahney", otherwise it would say "To sail is needed, to not live is needed".  Then the last one means "To sail is needed, to live is uneeded".  All have similar meaning, but just a bit different ways of going about it.

All that said, one thing I would really like to stress is that most of the words here are non-canon.  When it comes to things like tattoos, I strongly recommend sticking with the canon language.  This is because the canon language is set in stone, while the non-canon language worked on by the community here is constantly expanding and changing.  If you're unsure whether a word is canon or non-canon, check its word entry.

How do i say Hell?

It's a challenge since "Hell" doesn't exist in the Elder Scrolls universe.  You could say "Oblivion"  instead ("What in Oblivion is that?" / "Fos ko Oblivion los tol?").  If it's not something you're translating from English, see if you can avoid the use of "Hell" altogether.  Barring that, you can use "Hell" as a borrowed name if you need to ("He went to Hell" / "Rok shur wah Hell").

Well i used  hell plus (sorry for this) gjok on a diffrent website

No worries, it's fine in a casual or conversational setting.  Whereas they probably wouldn't appear on Word Walls or something of that sort.

Whatever that means i don't get it (I am only 12 dude but idc if i am banned for being underage)
